Troparion of St. Blaise of Sebaste, Tone 3

Thou didst blossom as a fruitful tree in the Church, by the cultivation of divine grace, O Father Blaise; thou didst shine with the grace of the priesthood and bear fruit in thy martyr's contest. Entreat Christ our God to grant us His great mercy.

O Godbearing Blaise, thou wast a holy shoot, a fadeless flower, a fruitful branch of Christ the Vine. Fill with thy gladness those who faithfully honor thy memory, and intercede unceasingly for us all.
